This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C 119(e) of U.S.Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/556,274 filed on Mar. 25,2004.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention(s) relates to the field of reducing the waste streamburden in the medical field.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In particular, this application relates to systems used for thecollection and disposal of certain medical waste. The collection offluent waste material is a common procedure in the medical field. Mostmethods of surgical waste collection are carried out using vacuumsuction. Some methods use gravity, while some use impelling deviceswhich produce suction/vacuum. Examples of such impelling devices maycomprise a meniscus shaver, a lipo-suction system, an arthroscopic fluidpump, an endoscopic irrigation and aspiration wand and the like.Surgical fluid waste is collected in containers commonly referred to ascanisters, and or canister liners. These waste collection devices aregenerally disposable, some are recycled reprocessed or re-washed. Somecollection devices are reused. Some are partially reused, while some areintermittently reused. Some are disposable or partially disposable. Someare used in conjunction with servicing units while some are used withadditive agents for treating the waste material. Some are used multipletimes on multiple patients without preferable cleaning between patients.In certain instances, reused devices are cleaned, reprocessed,sterilized, re-sterilized, and/or re-cycled and prepared for re-use.There are disadvantages to the use of disposable collection canistersand canister liners. One problem is that disposable collection canistersand disposable collection liners contribute contaminated infectionsplastic waste to the medical waste stream which is undesirable for theenvironment. Re-use of disposable collection devices by re-cleaning orre-processing re-cycling and/or sterilizing, has the disadvantages ofadding costly labor, and requiring additional labor costs for sorting,containing, transporting and handling of contaminated medical wastecanisters, and then the added costs of product re-entry into thecleaning and re-sterilization internal systems. There is a significantneed to reduce medical waste. The need to reduce medical waste is aserious common goal of the US Environmental Protection Agency, and theAmerican Hospital Association which has entered into a landmark“Memorandum of Understanding” formally establishing the goals to reducemedical waste 50% by the year 2010. Hospitals for Healthy Environment(www.h2e-online.org) is the name of the aforementioned alliance and issupported by many formidable organizations and companies such as theAmerican Nurses Association, Health Care Without Harm, leading GroupPurchasing Organizations, leading Health Care Systems, State and localgovernment agencies, Health Care Associations and the like.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

Certain disadvantages of the prior art in these regards will becomebetter understood by explanation of these following references. U.S.Pat. No. 5,792,126 to Tribastone et. al., discloses a collectioncanister system comprising canister interiors of preferably 5,000,10,000 and 15,000 cubic centimeters and are taught to be effective forall procedures. A container of this size has disadvantages because it istoo big for many collection applications. For example, suctioncollection for anesthesia, whereby it is convenient to have a smallcollection canister attached to an anesthesia machine is preferable,especially in that most anesthesia suction volumes constitute just a fewcubic centimeters of sputum or pharangeal/throat saliva most of thetime. Larger equipment is also inconvenient in smaller rooms, wheresuction collection equipment is found such as the emergency room,intensive care units, in patient hospital rooms, coronary care units,and neo-natal and infant care units, physician offices, physician ownedsurgery suites, out patient surgery centers, ambulances, and other roomsdefining smaller confined spaces. There are also concerns with crosscontamination in any system where contaminated waste material remains ina room/location during the presence of multiple patients. This problemis most prevalent in intensive care and other patient units where themost sick patients are treated. Another disadvantage of 5,000, 10,000and 15,000 cubic centimeter containers is weight. Such weight in thesevery heavy volumes provide for extremely difficult ergonomics andhandling problems posing significant risk to personnel, such as back,neck, and upper extremity injuries. Another disadvantage of such largeand heavy containers is its size. Such large containers are moredifficult to clean and cumbersome to handle and because the awkwardsize, could contribute to such problems as carpal tunnel syndrome of thewrist, which further defines ergonomic problems with respect to thedisadvantages of such heavy fluid products as related to the U.S. Pat.No. 5,792,126 reference. U.S. Pat. No. 5,960,837 to Cude et. al.,discloses a suction canister and lid combination whereby onlydestructive force will separate the parts. This renders this invention adisposable product which is costly whereby each time a canister is used,another purchase is made by the customer, and another product entersinternal distribution increasing cost cycles and increasing inventoryhandling costs and another piece of garbage enters the waste streamwhich is a serious disadvantage. This makes the system expensive, andrequires ongoing internal distribution, requiring ongoing inventoryspace, which is at a premium in most institutions. Another disadvantageis the lack of choice for the customer to re-process, re-sterilize, orre-use, of which options are beneficial, but not available with the U.S.Pat. No. 5,960,837 reference. U.S. Pat. No. 5,901,717 to Dunn et. al.,discloses a canister and flushing system. This system comprises complexequipment for handling a collection canister. The disadvantages to thissystem are expensive equipment is required, and such complex equipmentneeds expensive maintenance plus required periodic inspection whichincreases labor costs associated with its presence. In addition, theequipment must be kept clean, which is additional labor required fordaily operations. Other disadvantages include a re-usable canister whichrequires costly labor for internal processing, re-processing andre-using. In most institutions volume of such collection systems isquite high imposing expensive internal handling and re-use processingcosts. The system discloses a disposable flush kit which maintainshigher disposable costs along with higher costs associated with internaldistribution and inventory handling. U.S. Pat. No. 4,419,093 to Deatondiscloses a reusable canister having a disposable lid and liner. Thissystem is delivered in pieces and require subassembly by the customerprior to operation. This requires additional labor, which is costly, andinvolves the inventory and tracking of a plurality of systems in sets.Often times lids and liners can become separated and when out ofnumerical matching balance, one cannot be used without the other whereasresulting in an incomplete set and an unusable sub-assembly. Thisdisadvantage complicates the ongoing internal distribution and trackingof the subassembly components, which adds costly labor, inventorymanagement and excess handling. The U.S. Pat. No. 4,419,093 referencealso discloses contribution of garbage to the waste stream with each usewhich is a serious environmental concern.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides methods and apparatus for utilizingproduct transfer/delivery containers which do not embody the selfinherent physical capacity to maintain shape under extreme negativevacuum pressures of up to minus one atmospheres. Examples of costeffectively fabricated containers which may not embody the implosionresistant strength/construction needed for suction/vacuum collection,may include plastic delivery containers such as plastic pour bottles andintravenous solution containers. The present invention discloses costeffective solutions for reducing waste, reducing labor, reducinginventory, reducing receiving, reducing internal distribution, reducinginventory, and reducing inventory handling costs, reducing spacerequired to carry inventory, all involved with the collection of wastematerials. These achievements are carried out by the instant inventionwhereby successful suction/vacuum collection may be realized using, in aflexible manner, cost effectively fabricated product solutiontransfer/delivery containers. This application discloses a collectionsystem that teaches use of product supply containers for removal ofwaste material and the disposal chain. In particular delivery containersfor general distribution/transfer/supply/delivery of pour bottlesolutions and intravenous solutions and the like are converted into thewaste collection and disposal chain. This application also teaches useof a common container for both the supply and disposal chain. Thisapplication also teaches use of containers in inventory forsupply/delivery then transforming them for disposal utility. Thisapplication teaches the use of a common container for the producttransfer and then integrates them into systems for the collection ofwaste material. This application teaches waste reduction methods byintegrating delivery container fabrication and the collecting anddisposing of waste materials of waste material with a cycling technique.This application teaches the waste reduction methods by usingmanufacturing methods such as blow molding, and blow fill seal containerfabrication, and intravenous solution container manufacturing methodsfor delivery and disposal purposes transforming the container, which isderived from a delivery mode, from product transfer, and converting tocollection of waste materials. The invention(s) of the instant caseprovide container utility options for the transfer of products,consumption of products and for waste collection options. The inventionof the instant case discloses the utilization of product transfercontainers, such as pour bottles and intravenous solution containers(bags)(and/or other product containing enclosures used for IVtherapeutics and administration of anesthetic agents as well as otheragents) for the receiving, collecting and containment and disposal ofwaste. Using product distribution/transfer containers, also for thehandling of waste, results in optimal reduction of waste, reduction ofinventory, reduction in labor, reduction of internal inventorydistribution, and reduction of inventory and waste disposal costsbecause the need for separate disposal containers is reduced. Thequestion arises, why pay for a disposal container when a deliverycontainer can be derived from the supply side and converted into adisposal container. Such containers are supplied clean and well suited,within the scope of the instant invention for conversion/transformationinto disposal containers. The instant invention confers options allowingconsumer choices for the reduction of waste. Plastic transfer containersare commonly used for the distribution/transfer of sterile liquids andother products, such as sterile water, sterile sodium chlorideirrigation solution, intravenous solutions for IV therapeutics, othersolutions, and the like. These solutions are used for intravenoustherapeutics, administration of anesthesia, wound irrigation, irrigationfor arthroscopic/endoscopic procedures, urology procedures and manyother types of uses. The inventor of the instant case names additionalfluent material delivered in polypropylene and or polyethylene polyvinylchloride containers which are generally high volume supplies in and/orengage the supply chain on a just in time basis fordelivery/consumption. Intravenous solution containers (IV bags) are alsoused for the distribution/commercialization of container products. It isunderstood the disclosed teachings are not limited to steriledistribution/commercialization product transfer containers. Otherproduct transfer containers may be suitably integrated with theinventions concept to function in a disposal and waste reductioncapacity. Other containers, such as prep solution containers, alcoholcontainers, solvents, and cleaning solutions may function suitablywithin the scope of the present invention. The teachings are notintended to limit the novel concept of waste reduction to any particulartype of product distribution/commercialization transfer container. Otherproduct containers may also be used in the instant invention. These“product” delivery containers are commercialized/distributed to thecustomer having volumes sufficient enough to provide cubic capacity insubstantial proportion for the collection and disposal waste materials.The instant invention(s) reduces the amount of plastic introduced intothe waste stream. The instant invention reduces the re-cycling,reprocessing, and labor associated with handling and re-use proceduresthereby lowering the associated costs of the waste collection/disposalprocesses. Collecting fluent waste materials in converted deliverycontainers such as a pour bottles and intravenous solution containerswhich have been cost effectively fabricated without implosion resistantstrength/construction, provides various solutions/options solving thedisadvantages/problems of such prior art containers when the methods andapparatus of the present invention are utilized. When the methods andapparatus embodied by the teachings of the present invention areutilized, the instant invention also provides solutions for reducing thehandling and reducing labor, and reducing the costly processes ofre-cycling, reusing, reprocessing, sterilizing and/or re-sterilizing.Certain product delivery/transfer containers are fabricated,commercialized and already present or in the supply/distribution chainand or in the consumer facility. The present invention conveniently andeasily transforms, converts and integrates these transfer deliverycontainers for transformation into waste materials collection vesselscreating a new type of environmental cycle. We refer to this new/novelcycle as a Techni-cycle. Therefore, Techni-cycling defines a new methodsand apparatus of using technique to cycle containers from the deliveryside of consumption to the disposal side of consumption forenvironmental purposes. In essence, Techni-cycling defines the novelprocess of converting a delivery container into a waste receptacle. Inessence, Techni-cycling is also defined by deriving waste receptaclesfrom incoming delivery supplies. In essence, Techni-cycling is definedby transforming delivery containers into disposal containers. Inessence, Techni-cycling is an environmental conversion andtransformation method. In essence, Techni-cycling confers the optionsand advantages as disclosed in the instant application. In essence,Techni-cycling is the environmentally preferred method. In essence,Techni-cycling is environmental, among other things. Difficulties existwith the use of the certain pour bottles when integrated in a highnegative pressure vacuum collection system. Difficulties also exist withthe use of intravenous solution containers when integrated in a highnegative vacuum system as commonly used in suction/vacuum collection ofsurgical waste materials. Negative vacuum draw pressure, at times up to−1 atmospheric pressure is common for drawing surgical waste materialsfrom a surgical site into collection receptacles. One problem is thatthe common pour bottles are cost effectively manufactured withrelatively thin plastic walls sometimes down to the range of 0.025inches thick, or less and generally made with plasticized materials suchas high density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, orother like materials. Thin walled containers are commonly fabricated toreduce the plastic material mass (volume of plastic material per unit)and hold down production costs, and shipping weight. It is commonpractice in container manufacturing to consume the minimum amount ofmaterial used per unit to fabricate each container yet maintain end userfunction for cost effective manufacturing purposes. Common containermaterial durometers, comprising containers having such ranges of thinwall thickness in these like materials, are not generally strong enoughto withstand the negative differential pressure of up to −1 atmospherefound in a suction vacuum system, without imploding and/or deforming.Product distribution/transfer containers are commonly fabricated usingmanufacturing processes know by artisans skilled in the arts of blowmolding, and/or blow fill seal manufacturing and the process ofthermally laminating sheets and forming cavities for the filling and theproduction of intravenous solution containers. These containers arefabricated open top or closed top. A solution to the problem of bottledeformity which occurs under high negative implosion pressure is toconnect the pour bottle to a suction collection system whereby the pourbottle wall is interposed, between its inner chamber and an outerinterspace, each space subjected to a common draw force, the forceenveloped over itself on the container inside and outside, the whichforms opposing differential pressures providing wall reinforcingbalances by effecting a positive and negative neutral force on thebottle wall balancing negative implosion forces. This is carried out bythe container and canister co-acting to contain and balance forces inthe composite draw path. This addresses the issue of bottle deformity.

The instant invention discloses the neck of a pour bottle as autilitarian area of the bottle for coupling with a canister system. Theinstant invention discloses a throat space aperture (pour spout) of aplastic pour bottle as a utilitarian area for engagement of a drawforce. The instant invention discloses the throat space aperture (pourspout) as a utilitarian area for coupling of a throat aperture plug. Theinstant invention discloses a positive and negative pressure exchangeplug for providing communication between the draw force and the insideand outside of a transfer container. The instant invention discloseslocating an atmospheric pressure draw exchange at the neck area of atransfer container. The present invention discloses interposing the neck(pour spout) of a product transfer/delivery bottle for conversioncircumferentially between an throat/aperture plug and a canisterlid/cover. In an alternative embodiment a bottle neck cap is interposedbetween a bottle neck and a canister lid/cover. In still a furtherembodiment a downward projecting hollow boss is interposedcircumferentially between a bottle neck and a force exchange plug. Thepresent invention discloses fabricating a blow molded container fortransformation/conversion and bayonet coupling to a canister system. Itis understood that that the invention is not intended to be limited tobottle neck configurations which are round. Any shaped bottleneck/lid-cover, cap, plug, boss configuration suitable forarrangement/construction having structuration to carry out the utilityof the present invention may be fabricated to carry our the purposes ofthe instant case. The present invention discloses positioning theplastic bottle throat space in a pressure draw system whereby anin-drawn force is disposed to transfer and deposit medical wastematerials into the bottle and an out-drawn force is disposed to transferthe differential draw forces. The present invention utilizes the innerchamber of a plastic pour bottle as a part of the pressure drawcommunication system. The present invention discloses severalembodiments % for carrying out the invention. In one embodiment a bottlecap is shown guiding the exchanging forces in a position along a forcedraw path at a location between a site of waste material (surgical site)and a source from which the draw forces emanate. The cap is connectableto a lid/cover which attaches to a canister body. In a second embodimenta bottle neck is circumferentially (not necessarily meaning round)interposed between a lid (second embodiment) and a throat spacer(pressure exchanger), whereby the throat spacer is disposed in guidingposition to exchange forces along a draw path at a location between asite of waste material (surgical site/other source) and a source fromwhich draw forces emanate. In another embodiment a downward directinghollow lid boss is fitted into a bottle throat and the lid boss iscircumferentially (not necessarily meaning round) interposed between abottle neck and a hollow lid boss transfer plug. The lid aperture spaceris disposed to guide and exchange differential draw forces along a forcedraw path at a location between a site of material waste (surgical site)and a source from which the draw forces emanate. In another embodiment aplastic pour bottle comprises a neck area comprising winged locking lugsformed unitary with the bottle and disposed to connect to a canister lidembodiment by bayonet motion. Throat/aperture spacers may then be placedin the throat space of the plastic bottle in a position to guideexchange forces along a draw path at a location between a source ofwaste material (surgical site/other source) and a source from which thedraw force emanates. The inventor/author knows of no prior art whichanticipates the proximate function and/or provides the utility of thepresent invention disclosed in this patent application.

Incremental volumemarkings which are shown as horizontal lines in association with thecanister wall going up the side wall of the canister representconvenient fluid volume markings which are spaced apart at distancesrelative to the diameter of the canister and its ensuing wall shape asthe canister body wall is shaped to its top. Such incremental markingscontinue up the side of the canister however at such point where themarkings locate the level at which the bottom of the transfer containerlocate inside the canister, the markings continue up the canister atincremental measurement distance intervals which are impacted by thesize and shape of the transfer container. The spacing betweenincremental markers representing the volume of material collected inboth the product transfer container and the canister are represented bythe markings along the wall of the canister above the bottom of thetransfer container and relate to an increasing volume of collectedmaterial subtracting the volume currently held by the size and shape ofthe transfer container. The spacing of the incremental volume indicamarkets going up the side wall of the canister at a location proximal tothe level of the transfer container bottom are greater in distance to anextent relative to the volumetric subtraction of the volume of thetransfer container relative to its size and shape. The volumetriccollection subtraction begins where the transfer container bottomlocates respective to the canister wall differentiation in measurementindica changes to reflect the volume of collected material held in htetransfer container.

FIG. 5 a shows the same indica and volume measurements approach as FIG.5 but with a different transfer container.

FIG. 5 b shows the same indica and volume measurements approach as FIG.5 but with a different transfer container.

FIG. 5 c combines the volume measurement approach of FIGS. 5, 5 a & 5 b,into the same canister body wall. It is understood that the indica onthe outer canister walls could also include an outline of the transfercontainer sealed inside the canister, and this embodiment would lookmuch like FIGS. 5, 5 a, 5 b & 5 c however the outline/indica showing thetransfer container inside the canister would be marked on the canisterwall. The marking of the canister wall with the outline of the transfercontainer (and its volumetric indica) could be such that an individualtransfer container could show on the canister wall, or more than onetransfer container (plural transfer containers)(and more than onerespective volumetric indica (plural indica respective to each of thetransfer containers)) could show on the canister wall. Several differentsized transfer container outlines could show on the container wall toreflect the volumetric relationship between the volume fill inside thetransfer container such as in space 28 and the volume fill in canisterspace 24 the differential volumes as container space 28 space may fillup and overflow into canister space 24 and the addition of thevolumetric capacity of container space 28 as it relates to theincremental volume marking of the canister wall below the transfercontainer as it is sealably disposed within the canister and,subtraction differential of transfer container 28 volume as it impactsthe changing distance between incremental markings on the outside of thecanister wall relative to the indica location above the point alongwhich the transfer container therein disposed inside the collectionsystem.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 shows a side perspective cross sectional view of prime manifoldtransfer container 1 a connected to canister lid 10. Plug 9 is shownsecured within the throat aperture space of transfer container 1 a. Lid10 is shown sealed and secured to the top rim of canister 7. Space 28represents the interior of prime manifold container 1 a and space 24represents the space exterior to the outside wall of prime manifoldcontainer 1 a and the inside of canister 7 lid 10 and cap plugfenestrations of lid 10. Cap 8 which has been removed from transfercontainer 1 a is shown nested in a space on lid 12 which issubstantially sunken to the top surface of lid 10. Lever 11 is shown atD-0. Patient suction tubing 19 is shown connected to prime manifoldtransfer container throat plug 9 creating flow through communicationwith space 28 of container 1 a. Elbow 17 and elbow 19 are shownconnected to plug 9 and port 12 a. Not shown is the communication tubingbetween elbows 17 & 18. Elbows 17 & 18 provide a flow path communicationbetween space 28 through plug 9 through elbow 17 through tubing 16 whichis not shown in this FIG. 1 through elbow 18, through lid fenestration10 d and into space 24. This FIG. 1 shows a prime manifold transfercontainer of a volumetric capacity of substantially 1500 ml sealedwithin a suction collection system.

FIG. 2 shows substantially the same physician and functionalrelationship between a prim manifold transfer container 1 b and a wastecollection system 3 however in this figure the prime manifold transfercontainer 1 b comprises a volumetric capacity of substantially 1000 ml.

FIG. 3 shows a substantially the same physical and functional functionalrelationship between a prime manifold container 1 c and a wastecollection 4, however in this figure the prime manifold transfercontainer comprises a volumetric capacity of approximately 500 ml.

FIG. 4 is a exploded side perspective view showing canister body 7,prime manifold transfer container 1, 1 a, 1 b, 1 c, 1 d, cup filter 14,wedge filter 15, pressure transfer plug 9, seal 13, lid 10, lever 11,plug transfer pressure arrester 12, 12 a, 12 b, 12 c, 12 d, spacelinklink tubing 16, elbow 18, elbow 17, prime manifold transfer containercap 8, and patient suction tubing 19. Not shown is the vacuum sourcetubing 20 however this feature is shown in other drawings and figure ofthis case.

FIG. 5 shows a 500 ml prime manifold transfer container sealed within awaste collection system 4 of FIG. 3. In this embodiment a vacuum sourcedraws negative atmospheric pressure on vacuum tube 20 which seriallyimparts a negative pressure force through tube 20, lid 10 at 20 a,within space 25, through lid 10 at elbow 18 through link tubing 16 elbow17 through plug 9 at 17 within space 28 through plug 9 at 19 a throughpatient suction tubing 19, through a suction wand apparatus to drawmaterial from a source of material into the prime manifold transfercontainer space 28. Incremental volumetric measurement markings on theoutside of container wall 7 in the embodiment of FIG. 5 shows volumetricreadings at the bottom of container 7 which begin at a volumetric valueof the volume of material containable by space space 28 in primemanifold container 1 c. Once prime manifold container 1 c is filled withwaste material elbow 17, link tubing 16 and elbow 18 providecommunication for material waste overflow into canister 7, space 24 ofcanister 7 fills volumetrically upward to such pint as where the bottomprime manifold transfer container 1 c is located. Once the volumetricwaste fill extends to a point past the bottom of prime manifoldcontainer 1 c the volume measurement markings on the outside of canisterabove the bottom level of transfer container 12 c represent asubtraction of the volume of container 1 c as the volume of material isdrawn and rises up the wall of container 7. In the event there is enoughwaste material collected in container 1 c and space 24 of and canister 7and the entire 7 is filled, the subtraction value ceases to apply, andthe volume of material collected in the system is approximately thevolume of canister minus a minimum volume as would be occupied by thematerial unit mass volume of the transfer container within thecollection system, plus any amount of waste volume remains in theconnection between elbow 17 & elbow 18.

FIG. 14 is a partial front elevation view showing how lever 11 may beoperated. This view is arranges and set up in a Cartesian coordinatesystem. This view includes horizontal planes x & y an and vertical planez. Horizontal plane y may be viewed from right to left and left to rightor from D-0 to D-180 to D-0 of with perspective relative to the arrowsand how lever 11 may impart leverage force while oscillated alongarrows, along the y plane shown on drawing sheets 17 & 18 among otherthings. When lever 11 moves along the y plane lever 11 oscillates fromD-0 to D-30, to D-60, to D-90, to D-150, to D-150, to D180 as depictedin this view. In the horizontal x plane is represented by lookingstraight through from front to back and back to front. Horizontal xplane may be further understood by looking at FIGS. 10 c and 10 g andgoing from right to left or going from left to right in FIG. 10 c or 10g. FIGS. 10 c and 10 g are representative examples of D-90 of FIG. 14positioned at D-90 with respect to D-90 of FIG. 14. Vertical plane z isrepresented by gap 22. Delta gap 22 is influenced by the force impartedby lever 11, moment LM-1 of FIGS. 10 a and 10 b, and how leverageavailable is imparted on moment LM-2 of FIGS. 10 a and 10 b, withrespect to first and second jacks 11 a and moment LM-3 with respect tofirst and second hooks 11 c. As lever 11 oscillates from D-0 to D-90moving along a y plane, first and second lever bearing 11 e as shown inFIGS. 10, 10 c and 10 g, move along first and second roofs 10 e 2 and 10e 1 of pivot socket 10 f of lid 10, along the outwardly extending firstand second distraction/retraction ramp from D-0 to D-90 as depicted inFIG. 8 g and FIG. 8 k imparting the distraction distance delta DV asshown in FIG. 8 i with respect to first and second pivotal sockethousing roofs 10 e 1 and 10 e 2. Such oscillation of lever 11 along aplane y imparts distraction and retraction distances between first andsecond ends of lever 11 along horizontal plane x. Such first and seconddistraction and first and second retraction and rotation represents arotational and reciprocation combining physical and functional motionbetween lid 10 and lever 11, first and second pivot 11 d and first andsecond socket 10 f of lid 10. While at D-90 while lever 11 is at aposition whereby a maximum first and second delta distraction distanceDV may be maintained and is sufficient for hook 11 c of lever 11 tocircumvent canister rime 11 e and rotate sufficiently through first andsecond slots 10 b 1 and 10 b 2 of lid 10. As lever 11 of FIG. 14oscillates along the y plane from D-90 to D-180 first and second bearing11 e of lever 11 moves along the first and second outwardly projectingfirst and second roofs 10 e 1 and 10 e 2 of first and second pivotsocket 10 f of lid 10 as depicted in FIGS. 8 g, 8 i & 8 k form D-90, toD-120, to D-150 to D-180. Such movement of lever 11 along the y planefrom D-120 to D-180 imparts a retraction in distance between first andsecond bearing 11 e, first and second pivot 11 d, first and second hook11 c, first and second hook arm 11 b and first and second jack 11 a.FIG. 14 shows at D-0 lever 11 secured under a snap lock latch 10 h.Lever 11 may be oscillated along a series of arrows through the y planefrom D-0 to D-180. This oscillation through the y plane represents achange in the relationship between lid 10 and canister 7. Also shown inthis FIG. 14 is canister seal surface 7 d, canister rim 7 e, canisterseal surface 7 c, gap 22, outer lid rim 10 k, of lid 10, and arrows LM-1depicting the relative lever moment arm potential leverage capacity oflever 11.

FIGS. 14 a 14 b, and 14 c represent the same numerical part identifiershowever gap 22 is different in each of FIGS. 14, 14 a, 14 b and 14 c aslever 11 moves through the y plane from D-90 to D-180. FIGS. 14 a, 14 b,and 14 c represent blow up detail with respect to connected box of FIG.14. FIG. 14 a, 14 b, and 14 c each show lever moment LM-2, delta gap 22,lever 11, jack 11 a, lid 10, lid rim 10 k, canister rim 7 e, canisterseal surface 11 d, hook arm 11 b, seal surface 10 m of lid 10, sealsurface 7 c of canister 7. FIGS. 14 c, 14 b, and 14 a when viewed inthat order demonstrates how when lever 11 is oscillated through the yplane between D-90 to D-180 how lever jack 11 a swings about in apivotal axis in horizontal plane x lever moment LM-1 imparting a forcein relative ratio potential relationship to lever moment 2 shown inFIGS. 14 c, 14 b, and 14 a as lever jack 11 a contacts surface 7 d ofcanister 7 the leverage imparted breaking the seal between lid 10 andcanister 7 subsequently increasing gap 22 and providing dissociativemovement along vertical plane z with respect to canister 7 and lid 10.Such movement utilizes leverage to break the seal between lid 10 andcanister 7.

FIG. 15, FIG. 15 a, FIG. 15 b, and FIG. 15 c shows substantially thesame numerical identifies as shown in FIG. 14, 14 a, 14 b, and 14 c, thedifference shown in FIGS. 15 relates to the oscillation of lever 11imparting force through opposite movement along the y plane with respectto FIGS. 14. Such oscillations are represented in FIG. 15 by Leveragemoment LM-1 imparting its force through oscillation along the y plane ina direction in reverse of that of FIG. 14 imparts a reverse action withrespect to the distraction and retraction delta distance changes betweenfirst and second bearing 11 e, first and second pivot 11 d, first andsecond hook 11 c, first and second jack 11 a. Shown in FIGS. 15 e islever 11 shown starting at D-180 and moving along the y plane to D-150,D-120, D-90, D-60, D-60, D-30, D-0. LM-1 is shown as the leverage momentwhich may be exerted in relative proportion to LM-3 with respect toFIGS. 15 a, 15 b, and 15 c. FIGS. 15 a, 15 b, and 15 c each show lid 10,lever 11, hook 11 c, jack 11 a, hook arm 11 b, gap 22, lid seal surface10 n, lid seal surface 101, outer lid rim 10 k, canister rim 7 e. Withrespect to FIG. 15 and looking at Figures at 15 a, 15 b, & 15 c in thatorder it is noted that leverage is imparted along LM-1 to LM-3 as lever11 oscillates along the y plane from D-90 to D-0, hook 11 c rotatesabout the x axis and circumvents the canister rim 7 e in the x planehaving been distracted and retracted as hook 1 c catches theundersurface of canister rim 7 f of canister rim 7 e. LM-1 impartsleverage along LM-3 to hook 11 c along hook arm 11 b as hook 11 ccatches undersurface 7 f of rime 7 e and imparts a closing/sealing forcealong vertical plane z and closing gap 22 and forming and sustaining aseal between lid 10 and canister 7. It is important to note with respectto FIGS. 14 through 18 f that the average age of the surgical nurse is45 years of age. The assembly and disassembly of canister can be adifficult problem. The purpose of LM-1 imparting force to M-2 and LM-3is to provide the operators the assistance of a moment arm leveragepotential in creating and breaking a seal between lid 10 and canister 7.Therefore FIGS. 14 and 15 demonstrate how leverage may be used to assistin creating and breaking a seal with respect to handling aconnectabe/disconnectable lid and canister system.

FIGS. 18 through 18 f show respectivedistraction and retraction along the x plane along one end of lever 11with respect to canister 7 and lid 10. It is shown while LM-1 is atD-150, jack 11 a has imparted a separation force increasing gap 22 ofFIGS. 14 through 17 f, breaking the seal between lid 10 and canister 7.FIG. 18 b shows jack 11 a in a position with respect to LM-1 at D-120which is relative to LM-1 at D-120 shown in FIGS. 14 through 17 f. FIG.18 c shows LM-1 at D-90 and the delta distance distraction between firstand second ends of lever 11 as is described in FIGS. 10 c and 10 g,occurs as a result of oscillating 11 from D-0 to D-90 of from D-180 toD-90 imparting a suitable distance between first and second ends oflever 11 such that hook 11 c and jack 11 a are distracted, rotated andreciprocated about the axis along the x plane while pivot 11 d rotatesand reciprocates along the x plane in juxtaposed relationship in pivotsocket 10 f of lid 10, and circumvention of rim 7 e of canister 7 isaccomplished through rotation and distraction and retraction of firstand second ends of lever 11 during imparting of LM-1 potential force onlever 11. Such circumvention of first and second hooks 11 c and firstand second jacks 11 a is carried out by simultaneous, leverage in oneplane (the y plane) distraction and retraction in another plane (the xplane), and circumvention rotational reciprocation about a pivot axisthat projects along the x plane including motion between the lid 10 andcanister 7 in another plane (vertical z plane). Hook 11 c and jack 11 aare positioned to circumvent rim 7 e of canister 7, clear and passthrough slots 10 b 1 and 10 b 2 of lid 10. It is apparent as shown inFIGS. 14 through 18 f that oscillation of LM-1 along the y planeprovides distraction and retraction of first and second ends of lever11, along the x plane which imparts increase and decrease in gaps 22 andgaps 23 both inducing and breaking a seal between lid 10 and canister 7.LM-1 moving in the y plane imparts distraction and retraction in the zplane which defines imparting leverage inducing sealing and unsealing inthe z plane. As such x, y and z plane action of 11 c, circumvents rim 7e of canister 7 and applies Im-3 through Im-1 a force to compress hook11 c against rim surface 7 f of rim 7 e decreasing and closing gap 22providing a seal between lid and canister 7. Lever hook 11 c circumventscanister rim 7 e as a result of distraction and pivotally hooks canisterrim 7 e as a result of pivotal retraction. It is apparent from FIGS. 14f thorough 18 f that hook 11 c undergoes a circumventing pivotaldistraction and retraction to clear first and second canister slots 10 band 10 b 2. It is also apparent from FIGS. 14 through 18 f that jack 11a also undergoes a pivotal circumventing distraction and retraction inthe y plane distracting for clear passage through pivotal slot 10 b 1and 10 b 2 and pivotal retraction for imparting separating forces LM-1and LM-2 increasing gap 22 and breaking the seal between lid 10 andcanister 7. Plane x, plane y and plane z also represent in FIGS. 14through 18 f a first plane and second plane and a third plane and howeach of these planes relate to LM-1, LM-2 and LM-3 as well as thephysical and functional relationship between lid 10 and canister 7 andlever 11. LM-1 in one plane imparts LM-2 and LM-3 as LM-2 and LM-3relate to motion in the x plane and how LM-2 an dLM-3 impart interactionbetween lid 10 and canister 7 in the vertical z plane as it relates tosealing and unsealing between a canister 7 and lid 10.

Features disclosed in this FIG. 24 b aresimilar to those shown in FIGS. 24 and 24 a. It is noted however thatthe incremental marking on the outside of canister housing 31 as shownby 29 demonstrate the same volumetric fill lever that would be viewed asthe incremental markings as shown on the wall of the prime manifoldtransfer container shown by 30.

FIG. 24 c is a side elevation view of the exterior of housing 31 and lid25. Shown here are operational features similar to that of FIGS. 24, 24a and 24 b however a side view of incremental volumetric measurementindicia 29 associated with the outside canister wall in volumetricmeasurement level indicia 30 representing the volume fill level on theprime manifold transfer container are disposed at levels equallyrepresenting substantially similar to volumetric material cubiccapacity. It is noted that in FIGS. 24, 24 a and 24 b and 24 c, lid 25is constructed of a single piece having a physical and functionalcapacity to dispose a prime manifold container and an intravenoussolution container both within the same structure. It is understood thatthe two piece lid and canister combination may be used to provideconnection with and intravenous solution container and a pour bottle. Itis also understood that such lid connection site may be configured toconnect to a variety of prime manifold container design configurationsnot only is such configuration as the dual spiking and threading shownby FIGS. 24 through 25 c, but by any number of connection means such asa press fit, a slip fit, a push on fit, a push and twist, a doublespike; a single spike, as dual lumen spike, a multi-lumen spike. It isalso understood that the lid and canister combination shown in theinstant case may be manufactured in a manner that the lid and canisterhousing may be formed as a unitary piece, is the forming tool such thatwhen a lid is removed from the tool a canister housing is removed fromthe tool, such unitary relationship may be established by a living hingewhich connects the lid to the canister and allows placement of the lidon the canister and removal of the lid on the canister. These designstructures are intended to connect to prime manifold transfer containersmade from different manufacturing process, different processes includean intravenous solution container manufacturing of laminating sheetsalong a periphery to obtain a container, blow fill seal manufacturingprocesses whereby parison(s)/extrusion(s) are formed and shaped intocontainer(s) using suitable blow fill seal materials, blow moldingprocesses whereby extrusion/parison(s) are formed and shaped intocontainer(s) using one of the various types of suitable blow moldingmaterials, form fill seal processes whereby transferablematerials/contents are contained in the many form fill sealmanufacturing methods. The instant application anticipates the instantlid housing transfer container connection invention of the instantapplication may be made in combination, or with may be made unitary toprovide convenient collection of materials.

FIG. 25 shows similar lid canister features disposed within the canisteris an intravenous solution container having two of its ports spiked byingress connector 26 and egress connector 27. It is understood that inthis embodiment one or more ingress and egress spikes could be used. Itis considered a unique and novel aspect of this embodiment that thecontainer collection systems of FIGS. 24 through 25 c may seal therewithin both a liquid transfer container connecting through a neckconnection and also a accommodate a flexible bag type of container suchas an irrigation solution container, or a container for transfer ofinject able solution. The lid embodiment connects to the pourspout/bottle neck or an IV solution spike port as commonly found in anintravenous solution container or other type of access port. It is alsounderstood that such port connection may include a leur lock, a lockinglug connection, a slip fit, a press fit a rotational connection, athreaded connection, a needless port type of connection such that thesame needle less access port connection that would accommodate a syringewould also be connectable to the lid combination of the instantinvention. It is the intension of the instant case to provide transfercontainer connection that are convenient, and which may already bepresent (but not necessarily) in association with the transfer containerto then provide and extended useful life connection so the transfercontainer may be utilized as a collection container using structurecombinations and methods which are novel as disclosed by the instantapplication. It is also anticipated by the instant application thatadapters may be used to conveniently connect a transfer container tovarieties of combinations of lid and canisters as disclosed in theinstant cast for the purposes of reducing waste, reducing cost, reducinghandling, reducing internal distribution and improving efficiency in thesupply chain.

Similar negative atmospheric pressure operational flow principles applyhere.
